Ghost notions that swirl around your room while you sleep. Your own pillow laughing right in your face while you fight for an hour of rest. There are voices that whisper from the corner, telling you everything you never wanted to hear. &#8216;Negative Growth&#8217;, our third album, is dedicated to fear and deception.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;This collection of songs were conceived in Memphis and finalized in Los Angeles, with the help of our family doctor Ty Segall. It was created in February 2016, when we traded Memphis misery for a week of California sunshine. &#8216;Negative Growth&#8217; is a nine-track nightmare, a death trip in the crystal ship. Out later this year, the institution known as In The Red Records will do the honors. The Hollywood Heat Seeker takes ten years off your life.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i1383.photobucket.com\/albums\/ah284\/spencermotormouth\/EXCULT_NEGATIVE%20GROWTH_JACKET_hi%20res_zpsbfffugiw.jpg?resize=324%2C324\" alt=\"Ex-Cult Negative Growth\" width=\"324\" height=\"324\" name=\"Image2\" align=\"bottom\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<h5>&#8216;Negative Growth&#8217;\u00a0track list:<\/h5>\n<p>1) Mister Investigator<br \/>\n2) Attention Ritual (No One Sees)<br \/>\n3) Let You In<br \/>\n4) Government Birdcage<br \/>\n5) Dogs Roll In<br \/>\n6) Panic in Pig Park<br \/>\n7) Hollywood Heat Seeker<br \/>\n8) Nightmare Zone<br \/>\n9) New Face On<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ex-Cult also announce an October tour starting with dates throughout\u00a0Texas\u00a0then moving up the West Coast with dates in\u00a0Los Angeles,\u00a0San Francisco,\u00a0Portland,\u00a0Seattle, and more.
